Tinazzi Ca de Rocchi Dugal Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2024

Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving.

Renowned throughout the Veneto region for their winemaking heritage and excellence, the Tinazzis founded their family winery in Cavaion Veronese in Verona. In 1984 they began exporting their wines across the globe and they have also expanded into other wine regions, purchasing estates like Feudo Croce in Puglia and Poderi Campopian in Sant'Ambrogio Di Valpolicella.

The family’s Ca de Rocchi label focuses on producing delicious, easy-drinking wines which are crafted using traditional Veneto winemaking techniques. This delicious cuvee is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes sourced from the Moraine hills in Verona. Once in the winery the grapes are gently crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. The next step is to age the wines in large French and American oak barrels for 6-8 months.

The benefit of this approach to winemaking is that the luscious fruit flavours and natural character of the grape is preserved, yet there is still additional complexity and toasty notes from the light touch of oak. The nose is bursting with wild berries, plums and dark cherries, while the first sip reveals a medium body, smooth tannins and a very pure, clean finish. A great wine to enjoy alongside a generous platter of cheeses and charcuterie or pizza and pasta dishes.
